VR and AR is the leap to a revolutionized future

Many of us may have come by these two jargons Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, but not all have a clear meaning in mind for each. So let us tell you briefly what VR and AR mean. Virtual Reality (VR) is closed and fully immersive, while Augmented Reality (AR) is open and partly immersive – you can see through and around it. Where VR puts users inside virtual worlds, immersing them, AR puts virtual things into users’ real worlds, augmenting them. Thus, VR and AR headsets both provide stereo 3D high-definition video and audio, but there is a big difference between the two of them.

Such technologies are being in advertising nowadays, and the usage scale is constantly getting wider including more brands and industries. Thus, it is forecasted that AR/VR could hit $150 billion revenue by 2020, with AR taking the lion’s share around $120 billion and VR at $30 billion.
